EARLY REMINISCENCES GIVEN AT QUEEN'S COLLEGE SPEECH DAY

THREE CASH FOR LUNCH AND ONE SAVED

Sir Robert Ho Tung, addresing the scholars of Queen's College yesterday, urged on them the virtues of thrift and patriotiam. Speaking of his own boyhood Sir Robert said that at the age of ten his mother used to give him three cash a day for lunch, and of these he always dropped one into a play cash box. Capt. Bebert Dollar, said Sir Robert, was equally emphatic on the qued for say- ing steadily all through life.

Many interesting reminiscences of the days of long ago were given, and in conclusion the distinguished visitor askede Head- master if the boys might be given a holiday`s request that was granted amid loud applause. N

In the course of his annual report, the Headmaster, Mr. F. J. de Rome, O.B.E., referred to the changes in examinations in the senior classes, and marked that School Certificate and Matriculation examinations should be disassociated. He further suggested that the Class 1 boys who wish to cater the University, after passing the School Certificate examination which is only a normal school examination should stay on for a few months arul take the Matriculation examination before entering that institution.

'SIR_ROBERT'S SPEECH

After the Presentation of Prizes, Sir Robert Ho Tung said:-Mr. de Reme, Ladies and Gentlemen:

I wish to thank the Headmaster, Mr. de Rome, for the honour of having invited me to distribute the prizes to-day. I regard it a great privilege, and it is a great pleasure to me to attend to-day because of my lifelong AsAcciation with this College, for it is the Alma Mater, not only of myslef, but also of my brothers the lato Mr. Ho Fook, and Mr. He Kom Tong. My children these have also gone through portals, and it is the school at which many of my grandchildren are being educated,

I am sure we have listened with great intercat to the report which tha Hendimaster has just read out, and I should like to congratulate the Headmaster and Queen's College on the excellent progress and results which have made auch a report possible. (Applause.). heartily congratulate the successful boys on winning prizes..

There is no doubt that the theories of education have under gone changes within the last half century or so, What is now re garded as mere commonplace was,

sports but physical exercises in general were never encouraged. There were no lessons on hygiene, and all our school time was devot ed to learning English and Chinese, all this of course is now But changed, and Queen's College has kept itself abreast with the times in educational theories, and in equipment. One of the features of the Headmaster's report in which articularly utarested is
